IDEXX Laboratories Announces Third Quarter Results

WESTBROOK, Maine, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

    --  Achieves revenue growth of 19% on a reported basis and 18% on an organic
        basis driven by Companion Animal Group Diagnostics recurring revenue
        growth of 23% reported and 21% organic
    --  High revenue growth supported by sustained strong global recovery in the
        pet healthcare market
    --  Delivers EPS of $1.69, representing 36% growth on a reported basis and
        47% on a comparable constant currency basis, reflecting benefits from
        high CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue gains and proactive cost controls

IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in veterinary diagnostics, veterinary practice software and water microbiology testing, today announced third quarter results, as well as business and market condition updates related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Third Quarter Results

The Company reports revenues of $722 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 19% on a reported and 18% on an organic basis. Third quarter results were driven by Companion Animal Group ("CAG") Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 23% reported and 21% organic, supported by similarly high organic gains in both U.S. and International markets, as well as revenue growth of 18% in the Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD") business. Third quarter growth benefited by approximately 1% from revenues associated with OPTI Medical Systems COVID-19 human PCR testing. Third quarter results were moderated by constrained new CAG instrument placement levels and lower Water business revenues, reflecting pressures on non-compliance water testing, impacted by factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") was $1.69 for the third quarter, representing 36% growth on a reported basis and 47% growth on a comparable constant currency basis, which excludes $0.24 per share impact from an ongoing litigation matter involving a royalty claim under an expired patent license agreement and tax benefits from share-based compensation of $0.18 per share. Comparable constant currency growth measures are non-GAAP financial measures and have been modified to exclude the related operating expense impact of $27.5 million, in addition to share-based compensation tax benefits, as described in our footnotes. EPS results reflected benefits from strong CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth, which supported gross margin gains and operating expense leverage, augmented by proactive cost control efforts. Overall operating margins improved 70 basis points on a reported basis compared to prior year levels and 470 basis points on a comparable constant currency basis.

"We are very pleased to report excellent third quarter financial results, which reflect impressive global growth in our CAG business and outstanding efforts by the IDEXX team to support the needs of our customers during a dynamic global pandemic environment," said Jay Mazelsky, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are very encouraged by the sustained strong recovery in pet healthcare, which reinforces our optimism in the long-term growth potential for our companion animal diagnostics business and positions us well to deliver continued strong financial results."

Market Trend and COVID-19 Pandemic Impact Update

Companion animal healthcare markets continued to build on the sharp V-shaped recovery seen in the second quarter globally. U.S. veterinary practices have experienced strong clinical demand benefiting from continued solid non-wellness visit growth, incremental growth from postponed wellness visits and an increase in new patient visits. In the U.S., same-store clinical visit growth sustained at 6% within the third quarter, supported by 3% growth in non-wellness visits and 11% growth in wellness visits, benefiting from pent-up demand. Revenue growth at veterinary practices is also benefiting from higher growth in services, including an increasing utilization of diagnostics, which supported 11% growth in same-store practice revenue in the U.S. in the third quarter. Solid same-store clinical visit gains have continued in October, reflected in 5% same-store clinical visit growth for the two-week period ended October 16. U.S. companion animal practice weekly key metrics are available in the Q3 2020 Earnings Snapshot accessible on the IDEXX website, www.idexx.com/investors.

Strong global companion animal market trends have supported exceptional demand for CAG diagnostic products and services. Global CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues sustained their growth at high levels through the third quarter reflected in greater than 20% growth early in the quarter and growth closer to 20% in the later part of the quarter, benefiting in part from pent-up demand for wellness diagnostic testing in the U.S..

These trends are encouraging and reflect the resilience of the pet healthcare market. Potential effects related to ongoing COVID-19 case management efforts are challenging to predict and may pressure future revenues should enhanced social distancing policies and higher infection rates impact veterinary clinic operations in certain regions.

In managing IDEXX businesses, the Company continues to provide high levels of service delivery and product support for customers during this time and maintains high health and safety standards to protect its employees and ensure business continuity. In an effort to continue to protect the health and safety of our workforce and their families and communities, the majority of IDEXX employees continue to work remotely and travel continues to be limited.

Third Quarter Performance Highlights

Companion Animal Group

The Companion Animal Group generated 20% reported and 18% organic revenue growth for the quarter, supported by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 23% on a reported and 21% on an organic basis. Growth was similarly high across IDEXX's major modalities in the third quarter, reflecting continued strong growth in clinical visits and related diagnostic products and services. Overall CAG revenue growth was constrained by lower instrument placements, which improved relative to second quarter trends, but continue to be impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions on access to veterinary practices. Despite these constraints, IDEXX achieved 3,173 premium instrument placements, supporting a 14% expansion of IDEXX's global premium instrument installed base.

    --  IDEXX VetLab® consumables generated 23% reported and 22% organic
        revenue growth, supported by ongoing expansion of our global premium
        instrument installed base, continued strong customer retention,
        increases in testing utilization and moderate net price gains.
    --  Reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services generated 24%
        reported and 21% organic revenue growth, led by growth in U.S. markets
        benefiting from strong market growth including high demand for wellness
        testing, as well as moderate net price realization and benefits from net
        new customer additions.
    --  Rapid assay products revenues grew 20% on a reported and organic basis,
        led by high growth in SNAP® 4Dx® Plus sales volumes in U.S. markets
        benefiting from strong overall market conditions including high demand
        for wellness testing.

Veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems revenues grew 4% on a reported and organic basis, supported by double-digit growth in subscription-based service revenues and strong growth in new veterinary software system placements. Overall growth was moderated by declines in diagnostic imaging systems placements.

Water

Water revenues declined 5% on a reported basis and 4% on an organic basis for the quarter, reflecting continued pressures in non-compliance testing volumes impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD")

LPD revenues grew 18% on a reported and organic basis, driven by strong growth in the Asia Pacific region. LPD results were supported by improvements in core swine testing volumes, continued benefits from African Swine Fever diagnostic testing programs in Asia, and growth in poultry testing. These gains were moderated by lower herd health screening levels, compared to strong prior year results.

Gross Profit and Operating Profit

Gross profits increased 23% on a reported and constant currency basis. Gross margin of 58.5% increased 150 basis points compared to prior year period results on a reported basis and 200 basis points on a constant currency basis. Gross margin results reflected reference laboratory productivity gains on high revenue growth, favorable mix from strong consumable revenue and lower instrument revenue, as well as benefits from moderate price gains.

Operating margin was 23.8% in the quarter, 70 basis points higher than the prior year period results on a reported basis and 470 basis points higher on a comparable constant currency basis, supported by operating expense leverage on stronger than expected revenue growth. Operating expenses increased 22% on a reported basis, reflecting the $27.5 million accrual related to the ongoing litigation noted earlier, and increased 9% on a comparable constant currency basis. Operating expenses in the third quarter included a $10 million contribution to establish the IDEXX Foundation, a donor-advised charitable fund, focused on making a positive impact on our communities. Priorities for the IDEXX Foundation will include supporting education in the veterinary and STEM fields, including advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in animal healthcare. Given the strong recovery in its core CAG business, the Company plans to advance prioritized investments in support of its long-term growth strategy and anticipates sustaining a relatively higher rate of operating expense growth moving forward.

2020 and 2021 Financial Outlook

The Company is maintaining suspension of full-year 2020 guidance due to the unpredictability of potential future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and is not providing preliminary 2021 guidance at this time.

Forward-looking statements are included above under "Third Quarter Results," "Market Trend and COVID-19 Pandemic Update" and "Gross Profit and Operating Profit" and elsewhere and can be identified by the use of words such as "expects", "may", "anticipates", "intends", "would", "will", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "projected", "should", and similar words and expressions. Our forward-looking statements include statements relating to, among other things, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's planned future investments and operating expense growth. These statements are intended to provide management's expectation of future events as of the date of this earnings release; are based on management's estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions as of the date of this earnings release; and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The Company specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following defines terms and conventions and provides reconciliations regarding certain measures used in this earnings release and/or the accompanying earnings conference call that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), otherwise referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and liquidity and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business and its liquidity and to the performance and liquidity of our peers. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Constant currency - Constant currency references are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are consistent with how management evaluates our performance and comparisons with prior and future periods. We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit, operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions and certain impacts on our effective tax rates. These estimated currency changes impacted third quarter 2020 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by approximately 0.1%, decreased gross profit margin growth by 50 basis points, decreased operating expense growth by 0.2%, decreased operating profit margin growth by 20 basis points, and had an immaterial impact on EPS growth. Estimated currency changes also decreased 2020 EPS growth by 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Constant currency revenue growth represents the percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue from certain business acquisitions. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents incremental revenues attributable to business acquisitions that have occurred since the beginning of the prior year period. We exclude only acquisitions that are considered to be a business from organic revenue growth. For more detail on what acquisitions we consider to be a business in computing organic growth, please see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures, contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain (or growth) - Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating profit margin gain (or growth) are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Management believes that reporting comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain (or growth) provides useful information to investors because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding key metrics used by management. Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain (or growth) should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain reported in accordance with GAAP. Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain (or growth) exclude a $27.5 million operating expense impact from an ongoing litigation matter involving a royalty claim under an expired patent license agreement recorded in the third quarter of 2020. This impact and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain for the third quarter of 2020 to comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain (or growth) for the same period.

Comparable constant currency EPS growth - Comparable constant currency EPS growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the tax benefits of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09 and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Management believes comparable constant currency EPS growth is a more useful way to measure the Company's business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Share-based compensation tax benefits increased third quarter 2020 EPS by $0.18 per share, and 2020 EPS by $0.31 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Comparable constant currency EPS growth excludes a $27.5 million operating expense impact from an ongoing litigation matter involving a royalty claim under an expired patent license agreement recorded in the third quarter of 2020, which reduced third quarter 2020 EPS by $0.24 per share, and reduced 2020 EPS by $0.24 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported EPS growth to comparable constant currency EPS growth for the third quarter and year-to-date through September of 2020.

Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company's investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to operate the business. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratios) - Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring transaction expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, share-based compensation expense, and certain other non-cash losses and charges. Management believes that reporting Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt and net debt in the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios provides supplemental analysis to help investors further evaluate the Company's business performance and available borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios are calculated, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

                            (1) Effective January 1, 2020, we
                             modified our management reporting to the
                             Chief Operating Decision Maker to
                             provide a more comprehensive view of the
                             performance of our operating segments by
                             including costs that were previously not
                             allocated to our segments. Prior to
                             January 1, 2020, certain costs were not
                             allocated to our operating segments and
                             were instead reported under the caption
                             "Unallocated Amounts". These costs
                             included costs primarily consisting of
                             our R&D function, regional or country
                             expenses and unusual items. Corporate
                             support function costs (such as
                             information technology, facilities,
                             human resources, finance and legal),
                             health benefits and incentive
                             compensation were charged to our
                             business segments at pre-determined
                             budgeted amounts or rates. Beginning
                             January 1, 2020, the segments will
                             reflect these actual costs allocated to
                             the segment based on various allocation
                             methods, including revenue and
                             headcount. Foreign exchange losses on
                             settlements of foreign currency
                             denominated transactions are not
                             allocated to our operating segments and
                             are instead reported under our Other
                             reporting segment.
